WebSocket issues with Sails.js on Heroku

I recently worked on a project in Sails.js that uses the websocket functionality. It is deploying to Heroku and is having problems with the ability to connect incoming connections over websockets. I've tried forcing webservers on the client side and server side, however Heroku just bounces off every incoming request.

I noticed in heroku logs that almost every transport method is polled, does anyone have any ideas on how I can get websocket support?

Also does a connection that is consuming a significant amount of resources have access to the open poll? I am using redis to store sockets and sessions if that makes sense.
